What happens when a COVID-19 antiviral drug trial gets misclassified as electromagnetic field research? This episode explores a fascinating case of database categorization gone wrong. I'm diving into what appears to be a significant database error where the RECOVERY trial -- a study testing COVID antivirals molnupiravir and nirmatrelvir-ritonavir -- ended up categorized as EMF research on small-spotted catsharks. This mix-up highlights crucial issues about research integrity and the importance of proper study classification in scientific databases.

Why is it so hard to stop people playing vides, music or phone calls out loud on public transport — and what does that tell us about changing human behaviour? Show Summary This episode of The Human Risk Podcast is a little different. It is a cross-cast from The Freewheeling Podcast, hosted by Thomas Ableman, in which I join Thomas to tackle a problem raised by the show's most important listener: his mum.The issue? People using phones, videos, music and speaker calls out loud on trains and buses. What begins as a seemingly small transport etiquette problem quickly becomes a much bigger conversation about social norms, antisocial behaviour, customer experience, incentives, enforcement and the limits of signage. In our discussion, we explore why simply telling people to stop may not work, how reactance can make things worse, and why transport operators need to think more creatively about behaviour change.Along the way, we consider quiet carriages, “electronic entertainment carriages”, cheap headphones, better-targeted messaging, staff intervention, social media campaigns and the wider question of whether public transport operators are responsible for the behaviour of the humans they carry.The Freewheeling Podcast The Freewheeling Podcast  is a show for transport change-makers. It explores how we can move forwards faster, bringing listeners fresh voices, new ideas and unconventional thinking.While it has a strong focus on transport and mobility, the show also ranges into entrepreneurship, politics, public policy, cities and how systems can be designed to work better for the people who use them.Links The Freewheeling Podcast - https://www.freewheeling.info/the-freewheeling-podcastThomas on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasableman/

You've read the productivity books. You've optimised your mornings. But what if the whole thing is backwards? Self-improvement content is everywhere, yet it almost universally focuses on extracting more value from yourself. This episode flips that. Drawing on behavioural psychology and a surprisingly useful analogy about cells and organs, Sam makes the case that the most effective thing you can do for your own growth is to become genuinely useful to the people around you. Not as a strategy. As a mindset. The inversion is simple: stop asking what moves you forward and start asking what moves others forward. Turns out, they're the same question. Why connection is as fundamental a skill as walking or talking How organisations actually hold together — and what that means for you Why kindness isn't soft advice; it's the core engine of sustainable success If the self-improvement content you've consumed hasn't quite stuck, this one might be the missing piece.

What if the best way to improve cybersecurity — or any other form of human risk — wasn't another policy, training course, or piece of technology, but a board game?  That's the kind of question my guest, Jill Wick, loves asking.Episode Summary Jill is a cybersecurity awareness consultant, business psychologist, podcaster, and author. Her work sits at the intersection of psychology, marketing, behavioural science, and cybersecurity, and she is passionate about helping organisations understand that security is fundamentally a human challenge, not simply a technical one. Drawing on her experience in fraud prevention and her academic background in business psychology, Jill explains why traditional approaches to awareness often fail, why experimentation matters, and how a simple Snakes and Ladders-inspired game can create meaningful conversations about risk and decision-making. The discussion ranges far beyond cybersecurity. We explore creativity, curiosity, communication, organisational culture, social media, learning, and the challenge of measuring success when the outcome you're seeking is something that doesn't happen. Key TopicsIn this episode, we discuss:Why cybersecurity is ultimately a human problem rather than a technology problemThe psychology behind phishing, scams, and social engineeringWhy more policies and more training often fail to change behaviourHow unclear policies can create confusion instead of complianceThe role of curiosity, creativity, and experimentation in risk managementHow games can create psychologically safe environments for learningThe importance of conversation and peer learning in awareness programmesWhat compliance, safety, conduct, and operational risk professionals can learn from cybersecurity awarenessWhy awareness professionals should think more like marketersThe value of experimentation, iteration, and A/B testingHow social media can help build communities around important ideasWhy measuring engagement may be just as important as measuring failuresGuest BiographyJill Wick is a cybersecurity awareness consultant, business psychologist, author, and podcast host who specialises in the human side of cybersecurity. Drawing on a background in fraud prevention and behavioural science, she helps organisations build stronger security cultures through creative, engaging approaches that go beyond traditional training and compliance.

Communication is the basis of many aspects of legal practice.  This episode looks at the science behind what we say and how we can use this to improve our communication for best effect. Full description / show notes including links etc Matt works with the Verbal Behavioural Intelligence system to help people look at the science behind what they say.  In short, all conversation content can be divided into 14 criteria (in 4 clusters).  The amount of each of these clusters and criteria we use in a conversation can shape how we communicate. We can tweak these ratios to improve our communication style. The four clusters are:• Initiate: - structuring conversations – organising the flow of direction in the meeting- Propose – putting forward new concepts or suggestions. - Build – extending a proposal which has been made by another. • Reactions within conversations:- Support – a declaration of support or agreement. - Disagree – direct difference of opinion. - Block – e.g. no or that wouldn't work. - Defend / Attack – attacking another person to defend one's own position. - Open – open to loss of status e.g. admission of mistake or inadequacies. • Clarifying content: - Test understanding – checking they have understood- Summarise – summarising actions- Seek information – e.g. what do you think we should do now? - Give information – giving views or experiences. • Controlling the conversation:- Shutting others out – talking over or finishing peoples sentences- Bringing in – e.g. what do you think XX?We always encourage listeners to undertake practical actions after listening to the episode. Here are a few suggestions.- What people and see when they are really good at communicating and adopt that yourself. - Pick one of the 14 criteria which you have as a strength and one which you could do better at.  Think about who does that one well that you know and see if you can adopt - In your next meeting – look out for the 14 behaviours.  Did you notice anything in particular about how they were being used?

About the Guest Carly Hunt is the Head of Strategic Partnerships of Showerkap, a UK-based water technology company tackling excessive water consumption in the hospitality sector. With over 20 years in hotel management — latterly focused on energy, waste, and water reduction programmes — Carly brings rare operational depth to the sustainability challenge she's now helping to solve. Her academic background in sustainable tourism (the subject of her university dissertation) makes her return to this space something of a full-circle moment. Episode Summary Water scarcity might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you book a hotel room, but it probably should be. In this episode of Shape the System, host Vincent Turner sits down with Carly Hunt, Head of Strategic Partnerships of Showerkap, to explore how the hospitality industry is one of the heaviest — and least scrutinised — consumers of fresh water on the planet. Hotels can use up to eight times more water than local residents, with individual rooms consuming as much as 1,500 litres per day. Meanwhile, the UK's Environment Agency is forecasting a potential shortfall of 1.4 billion litres per day by 2030, rising to 5 billion by 2050. The numbers are stark, and Carly makes the case that demand reduction — not just supply management — has to be part of the answer. Carly's entry into this space came through two decades of hotel management, where she discovered that energy and waste were relatively easy to monitor and reduce, but water was almost impossible to measure at any meaningful resolution. That gap led her to Showerkap, the brainchild of inventor Steve Harding, which combines three elements that have never previously been integrated in the water sector: fixture-level IoT monitoring across an entire building, a cloud-based analytics platform, and a novel shower fade timer that delivers a real-time behavioural nudge — without restricting flow. The pilot results, run across one floor of the Sandman Hotel at Gatwick Airport, were striking. Prior to the intervention, guests were showering for 35 minutes or more — consuming around 245 litres per session. After the shower fade timer was introduced (set to seven minutes), average shower duration across the 20-room eco-floor dropped to just three minutes and 20 seconds. Overall water usage fell by 58%, energy use by 14%, and the projected saving across the full hotel is approximately 2.7 million litres per year. Of the guests who stayed across nearly a year of the pilot, only three declined to participate in the eco-floor — a participation rate that Carly and Vincent calculate at roughly 99%. The commercial case is deliberately straightforward: Showerkap is targeting a two-year payback period, meaning hotels can effectively finance the installation against the savings it generates. Beyond the headline water and energy savings, the technology surfaces hidden operational value — the Sandman pilot uncovered hot water circulation issues throughout the building and enabled early detection of Legionella risk. The go-to-market strategy currently leans on pilots and case studies to build trust in a space where water has historically been undervalued, with an eye toward expansion into the Mediterranean, MENA, and other water-scarce markets. An upcoming back-of-house research piece, potentially in partnership with the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, is expected to extend Showerkap's evidence base well beyond the bathroom. Key Takeaways Hotels use up to eight times more water per person than local residents, with some rooms consuming up to 1,500 litres per day — making demand reduction in hospitality a high-leverage intervention. Showerkap's pilot at the Sandman Hotel, Gatwick, achieved a 58% reduction in shower water usage and cut energy consumption by 14%, with average shower times dropping from 35+ minutes to under three and a half minutes. The technology's payback period is approximately two years, making it financeable against projected savings — a critical threshold for hotel procurement teams weighing up an unfamiliar category. Behavioural nudges, not flow restrictions, drive the results: the shower fade timer gives guests a gentle cue and the option to continue, yet the vast majority choose to reduce — suggesting most water waste is habitual rather than intentional. Showers account for over 50% of hotel bathroom water use, but the IoT platform also surfaces back-of-house inefficiencies in kitchens, laundry, and plumbing systems — unlocking operational and maintenance savings beyond the guest experience. Notable Quotes "Water is one of the most vital resources on earth. And we all know that. And we rarely treat it that way because we automatically run a tap and it's there." — Carly Hunt "Reducing showers by just a couple of minutes can save 20 litres. And if those small actions become millions, then think of the impact that would have." — Carly Hunt "We always say that water intrinsically is linked to everything. We can't do anything without water." — Carly Hunt "We don't want to force anyone to change, because that doesn't work. You have to effectively give them the tools to actually do it themselves." — Carly Hunt Resources Showerkap Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (mentioned in episode) Shape the System is an independent podcast with support from KPMG High Growth Ventures More about KPMG High Growth VenturesScale up for success.

Smart EV charging isn't just about saving money on your electricity bill, it's quietly becoming one of the most scalable sources of grid flexibility in Great Britain.

Thanks to Imron Corporation for hosting this live episode of Stop the Killing at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, recorded in January 2025. What do a vehicle attack in New Orleans…a car explosion in Las Vegas…and a targeted assassination in New York… all have in common? More than you think. In this special live episode — recorded on the field at SoFi Stadium in January 2025 — Sarah and Katherine break down three recent, high-profile cases and reveal the patterns that link them. Because while the headlines call them different things — terrorism, explosion, assassination — the reality is much simpler, and much more important: They are all acts of targeted violence. And if we understand the patterns, we have a chance to stop them. A vehicle used as a weapon.14 people killed. Dozens injured. How the attacker carried out reconnaissance beforehand Why temporary security gaps (like removed bollards) mattered The warning signs that were there before the attack How planning and opportunity collided in real time A shocking incident outside a Trump hotel just hours later. Why this was not what it first appeared to be The role of mental health and personal crisis How quickly speculation can spiral into misinformation The difference between targeted violence and self-directed harm A calculated, premeditated killing in broad daylight. 10 days of surveillance before the attack The escape plan — and where it unraveled How digital footprints helped track the suspect The disturbing rise of online glorification after violent acts These incidents may look different — but the behaviour patterns are the same Targeted violence is almost always planned, not spontaneous The warning signs are there — but often missed or dismissed Prevention starts with recognising changes in behaviour The public plays a critical role, often without realising it Across all three cases, one theme stands out: Behavioural change. Sudden isolation Dropping off the radar Changes in routine, work, or communication Fixation on a person, place, or grievance These are the signals that matter — whether someone is heading toward harming others or themselves. Most active attacks are over in minutes The opportunity to stop them is before they begin Prevention is always a shared responsibility This is not about fear.It is about awareness. This episode was recorded live in January 2025 during the Imron Safety and Security Conference in Los Angeles, surrounded by experts, practitioners, and innovators working on real-world solutions. We had a brilliant experience with the team at Imron Corporation — from the staff to the exhibitors, the conversations, and the technology on show.

Children with mild intellectual difficulties are often overlooked, but the evidence suggests they may face real challenges in emotional wellbeing, behaviour and education, especially when support is patchy or late.In this Mind the Kids episode, Dr. Foteini Tseliou joins hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour and Prof Umar Toseeb to discuss the paper 'Factors Associated with Better Emotional, Behavioural and Educational Outcomes in Children with Mild Intellectual Disabilities'.They highlight three big messages: many children with mild intellectual difficulties are in mainstream schools and may not be formally identified; peer relationships emerge as one of the strongest protective factors across outcomes; and it is the accumulation of support across home, school and friendships that seems to matter most, rather than any single intervention on its own.At the same time, the conversation makes clear that outcomes are not fixed by IQ. With the right support, many children with mild intellectual difficulties can do well, and the protective factors that help them often help other children too – which makes a strong case for universal, inclusive provision rather than waiting until problems become severe.You can read the main JCPPA Advances journal paper discussed in this episode, “Factors associated with better emotional, behavioural and educational outcomes in children with mild intellectual difficulties” https://doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.70072Get a free CPD/CME certificate for listening to this podcast by registering for a FREE ACAMH Learn account at https://www.acamhlearn.orgVisit https://www.acamh.orgFacebook and LinkedIn search / ACAMHInstagram https://www.instagram.com/assoc.camhBluesky https://bsky.app/profile/acamh.bsky.socialX https://x.com/acamh

Today is World Autism Awareness Day, and here's a reality that's hard to ignore. In South Africa, it's estimated that 1 in every 100 children is on the autism spectrum, yet thousands remain undiagnosed, unsupported, and misunderstood. Autism isn't always visible. It doesn't always “look” the way people expect. For some families, it's navigating sensory overload in public spaces, for others, it's fighting to be heard in a system that doesn't always understand their child. And for many, it's the daily emotional weight of advocating for a world that can sometimes feel isolating. This year's global theme, "Autism and Humanity, Every Life Has Value". This theme emphasises the dignity, inherent worth, and equal rights of all autistic people, calling for increased inclusion and neurodiversity acceptance in health, education, and workplace settings worldwide. Because behind every diagnosis is a child who experiences the world differently, and a parent or caregiver doing everything they can to understand, protect, and empower them. And if you're listening right now and this is your reality, you are seen. Your journey matters. Paediatric Intensivist, Dr Sibekezelo Hlophe, helped us unpack how behavioural therapies like Applied Behaviour Analysis actually work and why they can be so effective, and also offered practical advice to parents and caregivers on raising children with autism, from building independence to supporting emotional well-being.

Great innovation isn't just about what you build - it's about how consumers experience, interpret and adopt it. In this episode of Future Proof podcast, Dr Nicki Morley, Global Innovation Lead at Kantar, is joined by Richard Shotton, author of ‘Hacking the Human Mind', to explore how behavioural fuels and frictions shape innovation success, from identifying opportunities early to driving real adoption. Through evidence-backed insights and real examples, they unpack why consumers don't always act on good ideas, and how innovators can design with human behaviour in mind. Hosted on Acast.

Playfulness at work is often misunderstood as being unprofessional or distracting — yet growing research shows that adopting a more playful mindset can enhance psychological safety, boost creativity and improve team performance. In this episode of The HR Room Podcast, Dave and Mary are joined by Kelsey Kates, founder of Playfully Works and former Global Head of Learning Experiences at Google. Kelsey shares insights from neuroscience, leadership development and workplace culture to explain why playfulness is not about games or forced fun — but about mindset, curiosity and openness. Together, they explore how leaders can intentionally create space for experimentation, connection and learning. From purposeful meeting openers and humour to creative problem-solving tools like LEGO and storytelling, the discussion highlights practical ways HR leaders and managers can embed playfulness into everyday work. The conversation also addresses common scepticism around workplace play, emphasising the importance of psychological safety, authentic leadership and balancing serious responsibilities with moments of lightness and human connection. Ultimately, playfulness is positioned as a powerful enabler of engagement, resilience and innovation in modern organisations. Guest Kelsey Kates — Founder, Playfully Works; Former Global Head of Learning Experiences, Google Topics include: What playfulness really means — and why it's more about mindset than games The neuroscience behind playfulness and how it supports learning and adaptability Why humans are the only mammals who stop playing as they age How playfulness can increase psychological safety and reduce defensive thinking The role of humour, curiosity and experimentation in driving engagement Practical examples from Google, including riddles and LEGO-based facilitation How playful approaches can help teams challenge unconscious bias Why leaders who show authentic playfulness are often seen as more trustworthy Why playfulness should be seen as a cultural enabler rather than forced fun Key Takeaways for HR Leaders Playfulness is a mindset that supports creativity, openness and psychological safety. Leaders who model authentic playfulness can build stronger trust and connection with teams. Structured techniques like purposeful meeting openers can increase engagement. Creative tools — such as riddles or hands-on activities — can unlock new perspectives. Encouraging safe experimentation helps teams build adaptability and resilience. Playfulness should be intentional and inclusive, not distracting or inappropriate. Even in serious HR environments, moments of fun can help relieve emotional pressure. Behavioural challenges can sometimes be addressed more effectively through creative approaches. Organisations that embrace playfulness thoughtfully can enhance wellbeing, productivity and innovation.

What exactly is a sign?  At first glance, that might sound like a strange question. Signs are everywhere: telling us where to go, what to do, what not to do, and sometimes what might happen if we ignore instructions. But as my guest, Jeffrey Ludlow Saentz explains, signs are much more than bits of information on walls or beside roads.Episode Summary Jeffrey is a signage designer who works on complex buildings and environments around the world — airports, offices, museums, and other places where helping people find their way really matters. He's also the author of A Sign Is..., a fascinating book exploring the history, meaning, and cultural significance of the signs that shape our everyday behaviour.In this conversation, we explore why good signage is often invisible, how buildings “speak” to us through wayfinding systems, and what signs reveal about power, trust, and human behaviour. Along the way we discuss hacked traffic signs, casino design, airport navigation, and why something as simple as an arrow carries centuries of history.AI-Generated Timestamped Summary 00:00 – Introduction: why signs are more interesting than they first appear03:00 – How Jeffrey became a signage designer04:00 – The challenge of helping people navigate complex buildings07:00 – What actually is a sign?09:00 – Why “everything can be a sign”11:00 – The power dynamics behind signage and authority13:00 – How designers observe signage in the real world14:30 – Cultural differences in wayfinding and navigation19:30 – Why Jeffrey wrote A Sign Is..22:00 – The fascinating history of fire safety signage24:00 – Curiosity and the stories hidden behind everyday signs27:00 – Hacked construction signs and unexpected messages31:00 – Trust, authority, and information on signs35:00 – Advertising, nudging, and attention36:00 – Information overload and competing signals39:00 – The learned language of signs and symbols41:00 – Why good signage is “invisible” when it works43:00 – Airports, trust, and wayfinding design46:00 – How people become signage designers47:30 – How casinos, airports, and museums use signs differently50:00 – The psychology of navigation54:00 – Why signage can't work perfectly for everyone57:00 – Why wayfinding is an art rather than a science01:02:00 – Jeffrey's book A Sign Is and where to find it01:04:00 – What signs might look like in the future In this episode we discussKey TopicsWhy signage is a form of behavioural communicationHow buildings “talk” to people through wayfinding systemsThe psychology of navigation and spatial awarenessWhy good signage is invisibleHow casinos deliberately make navigation harderWhy museums minimise signs while airports maximise themThe cultural differences in how places are navigatedWhat hacked traffic signs reveal about trust in authorityWhy signs act as nudges that shape behaviourThe limits of signage when designing for large groupsHow digital navigation may change our relationship with physical signsAbout JeffreyJeffrey Ludlow is a signage and wayfinding designer and founder of Point of Reference Studio, a design practice specialising in signage systems, environmental graphics, and branding for public environments.

Behavioural economics can explain an awful lot about how governments, media and businesses can manipulate your day-to-day choices and habitual thinking to their advantage (and your disadvantage!). This new special by your friendly neighbourhood economists Pete and Gav lifts the lid on common heuristics and biases (aka "rules of thumb" or "mental shortcuts") that influence your thinking and ultimately our world. Whether it's getting you to spend more than you intend to in the shops or being caught up in a Ponzi scheme (or buying an NFT - remember them?) because someone famous and/or beautiful told you to do so - this is a top ten of behavioural economics that may help you catch yourself in time before you take an unfortunate and potentially expensive plunge. Guided by our insights you won't get caught out again or at least recognise when you need to slow down your thinking to improve your decision-making. Enjoy Pete and Gav living their dreams of being Top of the Pops DJs as they run down their Top Ten! Technical support comes from Nic, our very own Mark Ronson.

In this episode of Talk Money To Me, Candice Bourke and Felicity Thomas unpack one of the most misunderstood wealth strategies in Australia borrowing to invest through margin lending.Many Australians are comfortable using debt to build wealth through property, but far fewer understand how leverage can be used in a diversified global portfolio. When structured correctly, margin lending can accelerate long-term wealth. However, when used poorly, it can magnify risk and volatility.In this episode, we break down the strategy in a simple and practical way, including real client scenarios and the key considerations sophisticated investors need to understand.We cover:✔️ What margin lending is and how it works✔️ Loan-to-value ratios (LVR) and how lenders assess risk✔️ What actually happens in a margin call✔️ Why diversification and investment selection matter more than leverage✔️ A 10-year real-world scenario leveraging the S&P 500, including realistic Australian borrowing costs✔️ Behavioural mistakes investors make during market volatility✔️ Margin lending versus property gearing✔️ Who this strategy may be suitable for – and who should avoid itThis episode is designed for high-income professionals, long-term investors and anyone looking to build wealth through disciplined, strategic investing.

Are we losing our ability to think critically as we rely more on AI?Episode SummaryMy guest is social psychologist Dr Guy Champniss to explore the role of behavioural science in business and the emerging challenges of AI in the workplace. We discuss why behaviour change is so hard to sell, the myth that behavioural science is only needed when everything else fails, and how organisations often overlook the human factors in transformation. Guy brings deep insight into how behavioural science is perceived inside organisations—often as a last resort when more traditional methods fail. We examine why that is, and how a better understanding of human behaviour can actually de-risk strategy, improve engagement, and lead to more successful outcomes. We also explore the psychology of AI: how we trust it, how we interact with it, and what we might be losing in the process. From loss of credibility and collaboration among employees, to the risks of over-automation and cognitive offloading, the conversation raises timely questions about what kind of future we're building, and how prepared we really are.You'll hear thoughtful takes on the challenges of selling behavioural science, powerful metaphors to help reframe the debate, and real-world examples from the classroom to the call centre. If you're curious about the intersection of technology, psychology, and organisational behaviour, this is a must-listen.About Guy Champniss Dr Guy Champniss is a social psychologist and behavioural science practitioner. He teaches at IE Business School in Madrid and consults through Meltwater Consulting. Guy's current work focuses on how AI is changing human behaviour in organisations—particularly its impact on trust, agency, and critical thinking. He's also worked extensively in the sustainability space, helping businesses drive lasting behavioural change.AI Generated Timestamp Summary[00:00:00] – Intro to Dr Guy Champniss and sets up the discussion around behavioural science and AI.[00:03:30] – Behavioural Science's Struggle for AcceptanceWhy it's often brought in too late and why it needs itself to be sold effectively.[00:10:00] – Organisational Blind SpotsHow businesses resist behaviour-led approaches and prefer short-term fixes.[00:17:30] – From Sustainability to AIGuy's journey into exploring the psychology of AI at work.[00:24:00] – AI and Human CredibilityWhat happens when AI performs better than people, and how that undermines trust. [00:30:00] – Trust and Bias in AIWhy we trust AI more when it agrees with us and the dangers that brings.[00:38:00] – AI's Impact on CollaborationHow automation can quietly erode teamwork and critical thinking.[00:45:00] – Students and AIWhat AI use in classrooms reveals about thinking, learning, and shortcuts.[00:52:00] – The Real Future of WorkWhy it's not AI replacing jobs—but people who know how to use it.[00:56:00] – Language, Labels, and ResponsibilityThe power of how we talk about tech and what it signals.LinksMeltwater Consulting, Guy's firm - https://www.meltwater-consulting.com/drguychampnissGuy on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/guychampniss/His academic profile at IE Business School - https://rhe.ie.edu/speaker/guy-champniss/Guy's research - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Guy-ChampnissMcKinsey article on AI in Contact Centres - https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/operations/our-insights/the-contact-center-crossroads-finding-the-right-mix-of-humans-and-aiOnora O'Neil BBC Reith Lectures on A Question of Trust:Recording: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00ghvd8Transcript: https://downloads.bbc.co.uk/rmhttp/radio4/transcripts/20020427_reith.pdfv

Sitne psihološke nijanse donose profit - Shotton otkriva koje pravilo gradi, a koje ruši brend. U drugoj epizodi specijalnog serijala snimljenog na Adriatic Festu u Pržnom, Ivan razgovara sa Richardom Shottonom, jednim od vodećih svetskih stručnjaka za primenu bihejvioralne nauke u marketingu. Kroz konkretne primere, istraživanja i duhovitu razmenu, Richard otkriva kako male psihološke nijanse oblikuju odluke potrošača i zašto marketing često promaši cilj kada ignoriše ljudsku prirodu. Razgovara se o raskolu između akademije i industrije i načinima da se taj jaz premosti, o snazi konteksta, socijalnog dokaza i distinktivnosti u građenju brenda, kao i o tome zašto su najjednostavnije odluke ponekad najteže ljudima da donesu. Dotaknute su poznate heuristike, efekat izolacije, serial position efekat, IKEA efekat i brojni primeri iz realnog sveta - od Nespresso kapsula i Apple kutija do Monzo kartica i Hendrick's krastavaca.

We all intuitively know that hypocrisy is a bad thing. But what if it isn't a flaw, but a feature? But maybe the real problem isn't hypocrisy, it's how we think about it.Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm talking to Dr Michael Hallsworth, a leading behavioural scientist and the author of The Hypocrisy Trap. We explore a topic that's instantly recognisable but not often properly understood. Hypocrisy is something we're quick to spot in others, slow to acknowledge in ourselves, and often design around as if it were avoidable or inherently wrong. What Michael reveals — through personal stories, behavioural experiments, and a careful unpacking of what hypocrisy really means — is that our judgments of hypocrisy say more about us than about the people we're criticising. In fact, hypocrisy isn't just common; it's structurally baked into how we navigate competing priorities, conflicting values and real-world trade-offs. And sometimes, paradoxically, a little hypocrisy might even be useful.That makes it incredibly relevant to human risk. In compliance, ethics, and organisational culture, we tend to assume people should act consistently with what they believe, and we often penalise them when they don't. But as Michael explains, this assumption can lead us to build systems that are brittle, punitive or out of touch with how people actually behave. This conversation challenges that frame and offers a more human — and more effective — way of thinking about inconsistency, trust and moral judgment.Guest Biography - Michael HallsworthDr Michael Hallsworth is Chief Behavioural Scientist at the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), where he applies behavioural science to policy, organisational design and real‑world behavioural change. He describes himself as someone “helping people apply behavioural science to real‑world problems” and is the author of The Hypocrisy Trap: How Changing What We Criticise Can Improve Our Lives.At BIT, Michael has led numerous projects spanning government and private sector domains, bridging rigorous academic research with operational behavioural insight. His work is characterised by practical translation of behavioural science and an upfront acknowledgement of human complexity — the grey zones rather than the simple binaries.His new book brings this lens to the topic of hypocrisy, exploring how our judgments of double standards shape behaviour, institutions and trust in counter‑intuitive ways.AI-Generated Timestamp Summary[00:00:00] Intro and framing of hypocrisy as a human behavioural risk[00:01:00] Why hypocrisy runs deeper than just “saying one thing and doing another”[00:02:00] Discussion of how organisations treat moral consistency — and the limitations of that approach[00:03:00] Michael's background, BIT and the genesis of his book[00:04:00] Defining hypocrisy: the three‑part structure[00:06:00] The two‑fold meaning: false image vs double standards[00:07:00] Michael's personal story with his daughter + the context of “PartyGate”[00:09:00] Historical roots: Freud's view on civilisation and hypocrisy[00:11:00] Why hypocrisy is a social judgement rather than purely behavioural[00:13:00] When calling out hypocrisy becomes counterproductive in change efforts[00:15:00] Real‑world examples: politics, business, everyday life[00:17:00] The phenomenon of ‘do‑gooder derogation' and why consistent people make us uneasy[00:20:00] Hypocrisy as a strategic accusation in social media and organisational life[00:22:00] The behavioural science of induced hypocrisy and what it tells us about change[00:25:00] Honest vs. relatable hypocrisy: shifting the narrative[00:28:00] Michael outlines three categories for navigating hypocrisy[00:30:00] His reflections on writing the book and the surprises he uncovered[00:34:00] Balancing moral integrity with public perception and stakeholder expectations[00:36:00] Hypocrisy in corporate ESG: the tension between expectation and action[00:39:00] Managing contradictions among stakeholders: the inevitable trade‑offs[00:41:00] Experiment results: private hypocrisy and moral judge[00:44:00] The paradox: why we prefer people who are ‘inconsistent but principled' over ‘consistent and bland'[00:46:00] Authenticity vs inauthentic leadership — and the hypocrisy dimension[00:48:00] Is this a practical manual for “how to do hypocrisy well”?[00:51:00] Final reflections: hypocrisy isn't always about morality—sometimes it's about signalling, trust and change[00:54:00] Michael's hope for what the book can achieve and closing thoughts[00:57:00] Wrap‑up, thanks and behavioural nudge for the listenerLinksMichael's website - https://www.michaelhallsworth.com/The Hypocrisy Trap  – https://www.thehypocrisytrap.com/Behavioural Insights Team - https://www.bi.team/Michael's IT profile – https://www.bi.team/people/michael-hallsworth/'Partygate' explainer - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-59952395 

We promise this isn't another boring budget breakdown! This week, we're asking a bigger question: what if taxation isn't really about raising money, but about changing behaviour? With Ireland awash in corporate tax revenue, the old logic of “tax to fund spending” doesn't quite hold. So, should we start using taxes to shape how people act, from derelict sites to carbon emissions, and borrow the money we need instead? We explore how Ireland's unique position in global finance could make it a testing ground for a new kind of economic thinking, one where the budget becomes less about arithmetic, and more about incentives, behaviour, and human nature.

Those long, unpronounceable ingredients at the bottom of food labels—what are they really doing to your health? In this episode, we're joined by Professor Marion Nestle, a world-leading nutrition expert and author of the groundbreaking book ‘Food Politics'. Marion has spent decades exposing how powerful food companies influence what ends up on our plates — and how little regulation may stand in their way. We dive into the hidden world of food additives and the regulatory systems meant to protect us. While the U.S. allows companies to self-certify ingredients as “safe” without independent FDA approval, Europe and the UK take a stricter approach. But does stricter always mean safer? Marion unpacks how these systems differ, which substances might be harming our health, and what consumers can do to reduce their risk. We explore what the science says about additives, inflammation, gut health, and more. Unwrap the truth about your food
